Wow! Nobody except the top-5 want to remain consistent. What is up with that? Looks like 2 of the top-3 are going to play for the national championship. Texas vs. Florida or Alabama. More non-BCS team than ever knocking on the door. But I don’t think any one but TCU has a chance of getting in.

LW=Last Week Ranking

1. Florida - Looks like unless the Tebow angers the football gods we will see them in the NCG. LW-12. Texas - Peaking at the right time. LW-23. Alabama - These may be the football gods that stop Florida. LW-34. Cincinnati - UConn plays everyone close. No need to be alarmed. Nothing to see here. Move along. LW-45. TCU - As long as they keep wining the BCS chants are only going to get louder. LW-86. Boise St. - Your strength of schedule was already on life support. Stanford put it in the grave. LW-57. Georgia Tech - Almost got lost in the Wake Forest. Next time remember to leave bread crumbs on the ground so you can find your way out. LW-108. Pittsburgh - Oh for the love of all that is good and holy, 2 Big East times in the top-10! This is it Elizabeth I’m coming. LW-129. Iowa - Luck be a lady and she kicked you to the curb. LW-710. Houston - Rules for playing Houston. First team to 50 wins. LW-1411. Oregon - Oooooh... defense where have you gone tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone. I searched the world over and though I found a defense. You met another and thppp you were gone. LW-612. USC - Below Oregon because they lost to them. Above Ohio St. Because they beat them. Simple. LW-1313. Ohio St. - Feels good to have an offense doesn’t it? LW-16 14. Miami, Fl - Still on their meds. Or may they didn’t need them to beat Virginia. LW-1515. LSU - Just can’t quite win the big one can ya? LW-916. Utah - Kept New Mexico’s perfect season alive. LW-1717. Arizona - Controls own fate in PAC-10. As much as having to play Cal, Oregon and USC can be considered as controlling ones one fate. By the way fate is defined as something that unavoidably befalls a person. How do you control something that is unavoidable. Good thing I don’t believe in fate. LW-1918. Oklahoma St. - Okie Lite, less filling but tastes great. LW-1819. Stanford - Running on lot of Gerhart and a little Luck. LW-NR20. Penn St. - Lost. LW-1121. Wisconsin - Could just finish 10-2. Not bad. LW-2322. South Florida - At the beginning of the season there were no Big East teams ranked. Now there are three. We might finish with four. Maybe the Big East isn’t so least. LW-2223. Virginia Tech - Georgia Tech thanks you for the new goal posts. Now go away. LW-2424. Oregon St. - Typical Oregon St. Peaking in November. LW-NR25. BYU - Why does this team play better on the road than at home? Strange. LW-NR

BASE jumped without a parachute: Notre Dame, California, Oklahoma.

Ready to take the plunge: Navy, Clemson, West Virginia, Temple, Auburn, Texas Tech, North Carolina, Rutgers.

Final thoughts. I know I’ll sound like a homer for saying this. But how do the polls get off ranking Oregon lower than USC a week after they embarrassed them. I know that the Ducks should not have lost to Stanford. But USC lost to Washington. Oregon beat Washington. And how do you rank Ohio St head of USC and Oregon. USC beat Ohio St. And Ohio St. lost to Purdue. Oregon beat Purdue.

All three have the same record. Simple logic dictates the order that you rank them. I followed the same logic last week keeping Boise St. a head of Oregon even though my heart said otherwise. To see what happens when you let your emotions get the best of you see AP and Coaches poll.

Loved watching my Ducks pound USC. Sorry Trojan fans. But it felt good. Still the question raging nowadays is what to do with Boise St. And when does Oregon’s body of work eclipse the loss to Boise St.? Or can it ever? I’ll let everyone else fight over that. For now I still have Boise St. Ahead of Oregon.

LW=Last Week.

1. Florida - For those that think your number one team should dominate this was your week. LW-12. Texas - For those that think your number two team should dominate this was your week. LW-23. Alabama - In other news seismologists had the week off. Said one seismologist “With Mount Cody not playing this week he wasn’t blocking field goals. When that guy lands seismographs all over the country go crazy. But this week there wasn’t nothing to do. Sigh.” LW-34. Cincinnati - So when Pike comes back, who do they play? LW-45. Boise St. - Beat one ranked team get credit for beating 4 ranked teams. The BCS way. I’m not bitter. LW-86. Oregon - Wow! Just wow! No time to look back though. Their’s an ugly tree in Palo Alto that needs cut down. I’m a lumberjack and I’m ok. LW-97. Iowa - Now here is a team that plays tough hard nosed football...in the 4th quarter. LW-68. TCU - Slowly but surely winning the non-BCS beauty contest. Really, the Frogs are playing good football. Right now they deserve a BCS bowl. But which one? LW-79. LSU - With all this talk about the teams above is anyone paying attention to LSU. They will if they can pull off the mammoth upset of the Crimson Tide. Get it mammoth? Elephant? Oh...never mind. LW-1010. Georgia Tech - ACC title is almost in your grasp. Be careful not to get lost in the Wake Forest. LW-1111. Penn St. - I can see it now. At the end of the season we’ll have a three way tie. Iowa will have beaten Penn St. Penn St will have beaten Ohio St. And Ohio St. will have beaten Iowa. Then I can sit back and watch the Head to Head Means Everything Nazis get dizzy trying to figure out who to rank higher than who. LW-1212. Pittsburgh - Have a tune up verses Syracuse next week. Big game at home against ND coming up after that. LW-1513. USC - This time the Trojan Horse was empty. No knights left for Sir. Pete to stick inside. I think they still have enough left in the tank to win out and get an at-large spot in a BCS Bowl. LW-514. Houston - Keenum for Heisman? Time to start thinking about drinking the Keenum Kool- Aid. LW-1615 Miami, Fl - The Psychocanes are finally back on their Meds. But they didn’t kick in till the 4th quarter. LW-1916. Ohio St. - Ok, vacation in New Mexico is over. How’s the golf there? Beaver Stadium probably won’t be as hospitable. LW-2017. Utah - Still winning with defense. Might want to send out a search party for that offense. Hope you locate it before you travel to TCU. LW-1718. Oklahoma St. - Now let this be a lesson to you kiddies. Don’t do drugs. Be nice to your mother. But most importantly never, I mean never, lie to the Football Nazis we call the NCAA. LW-1319. Arizona - Gets to take their turn at abusing the Whipping Boy State Cougers. LW-2220. Notre Dame - I live on the Left Coast and I can already hear them chanting BCS from here. LW-2321. California - Up coming the battle of the backs. Quizz vs. Best. LW-2522. South Florida - Has the mid-season meltdown been halted? LW-NR23. Wisconsin - Wisconsin beat Purdue, Purdue beat Ohio St., Ohio St. beat Wisconsin. Nice little circle of love huh? LW-NR24. Virginia Tech - Posers! LW-1425. Oklahoma - Please, no more ridiculousness about not ranking BYU while ranking Oklahoma. You’re beating a dead horse. You know like Florida St. and TCU beat them. LW-NR

Final thoughts: Wouldn’t it be great to see Duke win the ACC? Probably won’t happen But we can hope. There a lot of other ACC teams still in it. Idaho and Nevada still have a chance to win the WAC. Utah could still win the MWC. And Temple could win the MAC. Wouldn’t that be a hoot. Get it? I love college football.

So this week it was Alabama’s turn to struggle. Other polls keep swapping the top 3 teams around. I don’t see the point. Florida, Texas, and Alabama are the top 3 teams. The one who will be one top will be sorted out by the end of the season. So until one of these team loses, I’m going to stay the course.

LW= Last weeks ranking.

1. Florida - Tebow: saving the world one football game at a time. LW-12. Texas - Feasted on dead Tigers. LW-23. Alabama - Or is it Ali Baba? They so stole this game. LW-34. Cincinnati - No Pike? No Problem! LW-45. USC - Not surprised this one was close. The Beavers always play the Trojans tough. Might want to sent out a search party for the defense though. LW-56. Iowa - Was TCU’s win over BYU better that Iowa’s over Penn St. a few weeks ago? I don’t think so. LW-77. TCU - Nice beat down you administered to BYU. But Florida St.’s been there done that. LW-88. Boise St. - Enjoy your vacation in Hawaii? LW-69. Oregon - Offense starting to really click. Punt block for a TD just the icing on the cake. LW-1110. LSU - Can’t wait for the LSU - Alabama game on Nov. 7. Should be an exciting game if you like games that end with a 6-3 score. LW-1011. Georgia Tech - 7.62 Full Metal Yellow Jacket! LW-1212. Penn St. - Hey! We finally beat a team that doesn’t totally suck. LW-1313. Oklahoma St. - Still the best team in Oklahoma. Not that it means that much these days. LW-1414. Virginia Tech - All you ACC teams are just imitating. So won’t a real ACC team, please stand up, please stand up? LW-1515. Pittsburgh - You know, I thought about inserting yet another moustache joke here but, nah. Never mind. LW-1816. Houston - Your Miner mistakes may be overlooked if UTEP continues to improve. LW-1717. Utah - Probably the last team that stands in the way of an undefeated season for TCU. LW-1918. West Virginia - Should have no problem helping South Florida continue their mid-season meltdown. They’re helpful like that. LW-2219. Miami, Fl - Well, the Fighting Schizophrenics are off their meds again. That happens all the time. They think they’re better and stop taking their meds. There’s a lesson in here somewhere. LW-920. Ohio St. - Your not getting past good one loss teams or 2 loss teams with a win verses a ranked opponent until you actually beat someone. LW-2421. South Carolina - Is there even a hint of doubt that the Gamecocks next game at Tennessee will be hard fought and very close down to the last play? LW-2322. Arizona - The other Stoops team. LW-NR23. Notre Dame - Making yet another Bi-weekly appearance on my poll. LW-NR24. Navy - Why? Why not? LW-NR25. California - Have the Golden Bears finally figured out hibernating season is over? LW-NR

Still trying to get into the country club: Oklahoma, Central Michigan, Ole Miss, BYU, Kansas, Rutgers.

Membership revoked: BYU, South Florida, Texas Tech, Kansas.

Final thoughts: I’m excited and nervous about the USC, Oregon game. Turns out this game is going to be as important as I thought it would be before the season started. I’m not much of a smack talker. You eat less crow that way. So all I will say is GO DUCKS!!!

If you love close games, this was your week. If you prefer top teams to dominate, well...you might not have liked this week so much. Personally I like parity. There is nothing more annoying than knowing how every football game is going to turn out before it starts. So here it is my top-25 for week 7

LW= Last week ranking.

1. Florida - Complain all you want about these close games of theirs, but their a lot more fun to watch. LW-12. Texas - Face it people they are going to keep winning ugly. So get used to it. LW-23. Alabama - Note to opponents. Sell out on run make McElroy beat you. LW-34. Cincinnati - Mmmm...that’s some mighty tasty cool-aid. LW-55. USC - I think the Trojan’s kept it close on purpose because they don’t want Weis fired. They like playing a Weis coached team every year. Smart. LW-76. Boise St. - Is it me or are people searching feverishly for a reason to move Boise St. down? Yes they won a close game. So did Florida, Texas, Alabama, USC. Do we see a pattern? LW-67. Iowa - Guess they’re for real. Bet the Hawkeyes wish that Norther Iowa would hurry up and become an FBS team. LW-108. TCU - The only Top-10 team without a win against a ranked opponent. LW-99. Miami, Fl - Maybe the best team in the ACC. Huh?! That can’t be right. LW-1210. LSU - (This space for rent.) LW-1111. Oregon - People keep pointing forward to the game verses USC. As far as I’m concerned that game is irrelevant until they’re done with Washington. LW-1312. Georgia Tech - Plays Virginia for the lead in the Costal division of the ACC. If you don’t think their’s something crazy going on in the ACC please reread the previous sentence. LW-2013. Penn St. - Next game verses Michigan should be interesting, kind of. LW-1514. Oklahoma St. - Many left them for dead when they lost to Houston. Then again when lost Dez Bryant. But they just keep rising from the dead. LW-1615. Virginia Tech - Lucky I didn’t move you down more. Someone should have told me that Hokies were allergic to Yellow Jackets. LW-416. BYU - How do Mormons feel about Frogs? Plague anyone? LW-2117. Houston - Houston, Houston what to do with you. That Miner train wreck you had earlier this season is going hang around your neck like a boat anchor. LW-2418. Pittsburgh - I’m confused. Exactly why did Pitt loss to N.C. St. N.C. St.’s only wins so far are Murray St., Gardner-Webb, and Pitt. So many teams this year with one very ugly loss. LW-NR19. Utah - The Utes are undefeated in conference play. They could still sneak up and snatch the Mountain West championship. LW-NW20. South Florida - I’m not going to punish them too much for losing to an undefeated top-10 team. LW-1721. Texas Tech - 5-2 with close losses to ranked teams. And frankly there were some very bad calls in the Texas game. They could win the rest of their games. LW-NR22. West Virginia - The Mountaineers have a great offense but have fumbled and lost the ball 11 times this year. And have a turnover ratio of -5. Unacceptable! But they fumbled and lost it only once in each of the past 2 games. If they can control their own butterfingers then WVU will have a great season indeed. LW-NR23. South Carolina - South Carolina is a good team that needs just a few things to make it to the next level. They gave Alabama a great game. The difference in that game wasn’t Alabama’s defense. It was Mark Ingram. No Mark Ingram and the Gamecocks might have won. LW-1924. Ohio St. - Looks like the Sweater Vest has some chinks in it. Watch out! When a perennially good team shows some weakness teams start gunning for it hard. I.E. Michigan, Notre Dame. LW-825. Kansas - The only difference between Kansas and some of the other teams that won close games is they didn’t quite pull theirs out. Well I guess that’s a big difference. LW- 14

Final thoughts: One of the biggest games of this week is in the Mountain West Conference, BYU @ TCU. Yep I said it the Mountain West. That’s how a conference knows they have arrived. People actually care about your inter conference games. Now if Boise St. would just join you...

Florida or Alabama? Alabama or Florida? What about Texas? To me the top-3 are interchangeable. No way I’m going to move a Florida team that beat a top-5 team down. And I’m going to give Texas another week at 2 and see what they do against Oklahoma. 20-25 at this point are a guessing game. Think I should have put someone else in at 20-25? Tell me. Other than that enjoy.

LW= Last weeks ranking.

1. Florida - Beat a top-5 team. Yea it wasn’t as pretty as some would like. You want a beauty contest go vote for Miss America. LW-12. Texas - Their next 2 games against Oklahoma and Missouri should answer many questions about them. LW-23. Alabama - Ready to step up if Florida or Texas falters. LW-34. Virginia Tech - Tyrod (Houdini) Taylor is ready to take his magic act on the road to play the Yellow Jackets. Do yellow jackets like magic? LW-55. Cincinnati - Ready to run with the Bulls. LW-66. Boise St. - Next game is one of the very few small tests left for the Broncos, @ Tulsa. LW-77. USC - Notre Dame fans say they’re ready for prime time. Here come the Trojans. Time to put up or shut up.LW-88. Ohio St. - It a good thing they have a good defense. 8 1st downs against Wisconsin!? Ugh! Even LSU had more 1st downs than that against Florida. LW-99. TCU - Sneaking their way up the top-10. LW-1010. Iowa - As long as they don’t have any more easy games they will be fine. They’re great in the big games. LW-1211. LSU - Nice defense. Now about that offense... LW-412. Miami, Fl - The Bipolarricanes have another cupcake on their schedule. Will they be manic or depressive. LW-1113. Oregon - Went on the road without their starting QB and came up with a win. LW-1314. Kansas - Dorothy and the Jayhawks were all most done in by the Cyclones. Next week they’re off to see the wizard. Not really it’s just the Colorado Nepotisms. No magic there. LW-1415. Penn St. - Finished their tour of the teams of Illinois. LW-1516. Oklahoma St. - Questions to ponder. Why do people lie first and ask questions later? Why would a young receiver want to hang with an old DB. Wasn’t it Dion’s job in the NFL to make receivers lives miserable? LW-1617. South Florida - Big East title goes through here. LW-1718. Nebraska - If you only going to play 15 minutes of a football game. Make it the last 15. LW-2419. South Carolina - Let’s if we can find a pattern here. All of the SEC teams I have ranked have smothering defenses and rely on them heavily to win. Yep there’s a pattern here alright. LW-2120. Georgia Tech - Giving up 44 points to Virginia Tech next week, like they did with Florida St. ain’t gonna cut it. LW-2521. BYU - You’re in the top-25 again. But you’re going to have to beat TCU if you want to move up much from here. I can still smell that rotten egg you laid at home versus Florida St. LW-NR22. Oklahoma - Properly ranked right behind the team that beat you. LW-NR23. Missouri - Still a good one loss team. LW-1924. Houston - You’re rotten egg smells even more. But nobody seems to want to be ranked here. LW-NR25. Notre Dame - I put them here to again experience the joy of pulling them off when they lose to USC. LW-NR

Sir, we have 6 new contacts coming in fast: West Virginia, Oregon St., Auburn, Utah, Pittsburgh, and Arkansas.

Crashed and burned last week: Ole Miss, Auburn, Stanford, Wisconsin.

Final thoughts: This week we have on tap Oklahoma @ Texas, Cincinnati @ South Florida, South Carolina @ Alabama, Iowa @ Wisconsin, Missouri @ Oklahoma St, Virginia Tech @ Georgia Tech, Texas Tech @ Nebraska, & Boise St. @ Tulsa. My friends there is going to be an upset somewhere in here. Maybe 2 or 3. Watch for a big shake up in next weeks Top-25.

Now that we’re starting to enter the meat of the schedule the games get harder. In the next twoweeks lots of Top-25 teams play each other. Not the least of which of these is Florida @ LSU, Alabama @ Ole Miss, and on Thursday we have Nebraska @ Missouri. Putting together next week poll should be interesting.

Here is my poll enjoy. I welcome any and all comments.

LW= Last week.

1. Florida - Finally they will be tested! LSU appears ready for a dogfight. Is Florida? LW-12. Texas - Texas beats UTEP 64-7. UTEP beats Houston 58-41. What’s wrong with this picture? I’m sorry was I supposed to be talking about Texas? LW-23. Alabama - Florida plays LSU and Bama plays Ole Miss. It’ll take only one upset to shake up the top 3. LW-34. LSU - Mmmm. 1 vs. 4. Nice! LW-75. Virginia Tech - You struggled against Duke? Uh...check the calendar again. It’s not basketball season. LW-46. Cincinnati - Their upcoming date @ South Florida on the 15th is looming large. LW-67. Boise St. - They won 34-16 against FCS UC Davis with the starters in the whole game. Unacceptable! LW-58. USC - Note to Cals’ remaining opponents: sell out to stop run, win game. In that order. LW-99. Ohio St. - Winner of OSU - Whisky game gets control of Big-10. LW-1010. TCU - Blocking with out a helmet on!? These guys are either crazy or crazy good! LW-1111. Miami, Fl - This years official yo-yo team. LW-2312. Iowa - Wish these guys would decide whether or not they want to be good. LW-1413. Oregon - Bad idea of the week: Use you game against the Ducks to break in a new freshman QB. LW-1814. Kansas - Jayhawks and most of the rest of the Big-12 took the week off. Yet another effective method of avoiding needless loses. Bet the Sooners wish they would have too. LW-1315. Penn St. - You know? I think Illinois absolutely sucks. No really! I’m sure of it now. LW-1516. Oklahoma St. - Best team in Oklahoma. Snicker...snicker...HA HA HA HA HA!!! LW-1617. South Florida - No Grothe? No problem. LW-2418. Ole Miss - New plan. Beat Alabama save season. The flushing sound you hear is the Rebs’ season circling the bowl. No I’m not talking about a BCS bowl. LW-2119. Missouri - Uh...I got nothing. LW-1920. Auburn - Hope the Tigers have enjoyed the season so far. It gets harder from here. LW-NR21. South Carolina - Congratulations you are the 7th SEC team that I have ranked some time this Season. LW-NR22. Stanford - USC says they are the Team to beat in the PAC-10 but they play @ Oregon. Oregon says they are the team to beat but they play @ Stanford. Stanford says they are the team to beat but they play @ USC. Nice little circle of love, don’t you think? LW-NR23. Wisconsin - If they don’t beat the Buckeyes their time in the TOP-25 will be quite short indeed. LW-NR24. Nebraska - Plays Missouri on Thursday. Winner stays in the Top-25. LW-2525. Georgia Tech - Could still make a lot of noise in the ACC. Buzzing noise, get it? LW-NR

Stuck playing D&D with a bunch of dorks while there’s a great party going on next door: BYU, Oklahoma, Arizona, Boston College.

Special mention: Idaho. They were my upset pick of the week. Idaho is 4-1. They beat Colorado St. 31-29.

My upset pick of this week is W. Kentucky over Florida International. WKU is a 7 point underdog.

Final comments: Yet another non-BCS team, Houston, is a fraud. Figures. There are only Boise St. and TCU left to carry the torch. Note to non-BCS teams. You must actually field a defense to get to a BCS game. Boise St. and TCU are the only ones that seem to get that so far.

Lots of movement this week. And we still have 3 teams from non-BCS conferences that refuse to lose. Could this be the year a mid-major or Big East team makes it to the National Championship game. I love college football!

So far being ranked 4-6 has been a recipe for disaster. Will it happen again?

LW=Last weeks ranking.

1. Florida - Tebow’s not hurt. He just using it as a motivational tool for the LSU game. LW-12. Texas - Their game against Texas Tech must have woken them up. This weeks game was never in doubt. LW-23. Alabama - We now know that Alabama has a better D than Georgia. Wait...we already knew that. LW-34. Virginia Tech - Ok now, have we all finally decided that VT is the ACC team to beat? LW-95. Boise St. - Face it people. They're not going to lose. Next real opponent: Whoever they play in a bowl game. LW-116. Cincinnati - Quietly stating their case that they belong in an NC game. A Big East and non-BCS team in an NC game!?! Whoa! That’s just crazy! LW-137. LSU - Remaining undefeated one ugly win at time. LW-78. Oklahoma - Play the Canes next week. Winner stays in the top-25. LW-109. USC - Bounced back by wiping it’s feet on a doormat. LW-1210. Ohio St. - Beat a team that has been a colossal disappointment. LW-1111. TCU - These Horned Frogs are gaining on Boise. LW-1612. Houston - Just think how great they’d be if their defense came to their games too. LW-2213. Kansas - This win wasn’t easy. But Southern Miss. is no slouch. LW-2014. Iowa - All hail the Lion killers!!! LW-NR15. Penn St. - ‘Playing Iowa sucked. Let’s go back to playing Cupcakes.’ LW-516. Oklahoma St. - Way to beat Grambling. Yippie kai yay! LW-1517. Georgia - Who knew that Sun Devils could play in the rain? LW-1718. Oregon - Working every week to prove the Boise St. loss was an aberration, deviation, abnormality, anomaly... (insert favorite synonym here) LW-2519. Missouri - Not sure about Mizzou? The Nebraska, Okie St., Texas gauntlet should fix that one way or another. LW-1920. California - The current state of the Cal program: ‘USC or bust!’ LW-421. Ole Miss - Sometimes you feel like a Nutt. Sometimes you play like one. LW-622. Michigan - So, is Indiana better than we thought, or are you worse than we thought? Hmm? LW-2123. Miami, Fl - Put the Jekyll and Hyde potion down please. LW-1424. South Florida - Lose QB beat Florida St. anyway. That too is an acceptable, but rarely used, method of gaining entry to the top-25. LW-NR25. Nebraska - Bubble team. Ranked them here 2 weeks ago. Then pulled them. Probably pull them next week too. Or not. LW-NR

So BYU is a fraud. Who else is a fraud? Not my top-3. I have had the same top-3 since my pre-season poll. USC has now had it's annual let down to a lesser team. Except is Washington not so much a lesser team? Was this just an upset? Or the rise of the Huskies?

LW= last weeks ranking.

1. Florida - Tennessee played a great game. Oh wait...I’m supposed to be talking about Florida here. LW-12. Texas - Texas should probably call Mike Leach and thank him for that onside kick. It was the turning point of the game. LW-23. Alabama - N. Texas kept it close...for about seven minutes...because Alabama had to go 95 yards on their first possession for a TD. LW-34. California - Jahvid is best. But I hope he has an off game this week. Probably wishful thinking. LW-65. Penn. St - They won’t get any extra points from me for beating a dead spotted Owl. LW-56. Mississippi - Finally, at South Carolina, we might get an idea if Ole Miss is the real deal or not. LW-77. LSU - Hmm...that win at Washington is starting to look good now..yes? LW-98. Boise St. - Thought Fresno had ‘em there for a second. Now, about that defense... LW-119. Virginia Tech - It took a play of the week to get ‘em here. But here they are. Great teams find a way to win. LW-1210. Oklahoma - Thought Tulsa would give them a game. But it was just a high school scrimmage. LW-1411. Ohio St. - I know I moved them down one. But Boise St., VT, and Oklahoma had impressive wins. Really 11 is a good spot. It’s the spring board to the top-10. LW-1012. USC - Give the keys to the Ferrari back to Barkley. Corp ran it into the ditch. LW-413. Cincinnati - Oregon St. is a good team. Pike and the Bearcats were just too much. Impressive win. LW-1714. Miami, Fl - Didn’t have them ranked last week. Wasn’t sure they were for real. They are! This big jump for them is a poll correction. LW-NR15. Oklahoma St . - Had Rice for dinner. Mmmmm. LW-1516. TCU - People say you’re the real deal. Then for goodness sake play someone. LW-1617. Georgia - This is one spot below where I had them in my preseason poll. LW-1918. North Carolina - Finally a convincing win verses a worthy opponent. LW-2119. Missouri - Nevada was going to be a good test for Mizzou. But no. LW-2220. Kansas - Southern Mississippi will be their toughest opponent to date. No other good tests until week 7. Ugh. Way to go Boise St...I mean Kansas. LW-2421. Michigan - Now that they are done with the directional Michigan teams, they play an undefeated Indiana in a clash of the titans. Did I just say that? LW-2522. Houston - Poll correction time. The more I thought about it over last week I realized I should have ranked them. My bad. LW-NR23. Florida St. - This Jekyll and Hyde team beat BYU like a red headed step child. Are they for real or running on Bobby’s fumes? LW-NR 24. Washington - Seems weird typing this. I don’t like it. I don’t want to do it. But they earned it. LW-NR25. Oregon - Ended the longest winning streak in the country. Plus if I don’t put them here my wife won’t give me any peace. LW-NR

Some final thoughts: Some have been critical of Florida's offensive output against Tennessee. They won without having to show everything in their arsenal. They have more. Why advertise? See ya next week.
